Subject: RE: nil = "true"
Lets bring this old topic to life again.
Is it still not possible to make AXIS omit optional elements
(minOccurs="0")in a RPC-SOAP request if no value is given?
The Java method created for a WSDL with optional elements only leaves
the developer the choice to set any value or null for optional
parameters.
When the developer set null he means to say that he does not want to
give a value for this parameter. But what he gets in the SOAP request is
an element containing null (xsi:null="true") instead of no element. For
service processing the request this can make a big difference. "Null"
and "not given" are two different states (in XML). It is just that the
generated Java implementation does not allow to differentiate between
them.
There should be a setting for AXIS controlling the generation of
optional elements for null values. Is there one? Are there other
possibilities?
Regards,
Ulf Licht

I'm having a problem with a Microsoft .NET service
(MapPoint) choking on any (I think it's any, but I'm not positive)
element that contains nil="true", as in
<Pushpins xsi:nil="true"/>
<Route xsi:nil="true"/>
Axis 1.0 eliminated these elements from the request, which makes the
.NET service happy, but 1.1 includes them.
The year-old, archive message (below) seems to be related, but the wsdl
looks like it already has minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" as in this
snippet:
<s:complexType
name="MapSpecification"> <s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"
name="Pushpins" type="s0:ArrayOfPushpin"/>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"
name="Route" type="s0:Route"/>
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>
Any suggestions about how to fix, or work around this problem.

If you are using a document/literal service, you can change the WSDL to
have \ minoccurs=0 maxoccurs=1. Then if the value if null, it will be
omitted from the XML \ in the request/response.
If you are using rpc/encoded, you can't do this as encoded will always
use nil=true.
See the test in java/test/wsdl/omit for an example.

How can I eliminate elements with xsi:nil attribute set to true?
Thanks and Regards
